Billiat, who is embroiled in an off-the-field drama with a 22-year-old woman, approached the Randburg Magistrates Court this week to obtain an interim protection order against her.

The duo is expected to appear in court on February 27 when the woman should give reasons why the order should not be made permanent.

The young mum, whose name has been withheld to protect the identity of her nine-month-old child, angered the super star when she went to Chiefs headquarters in Naturena yesterday morning and requested to see Billiat.

This happened two days after Sunday Sun ran an article about how she stabbed him on the hand with a screwdriver outside Midrand Police Station a fortnight ago.

According to one of her friends, security guards at the Amakhosi village blocked her from entering the facility. “They went to the training ground and called him, but he refused to come out,” the friend said.

But the drama did not end at Naturena, because the woman later went to Billiat’s residence in Midrand.

“It’s not easy to get in there. When you arrive at the gate, they have to call him first. If he refuses to grant you entry as a visitor, then security doesn’t allow you to come in,” explained the friend.

According to Billiat’s court papers, the woman should stop calling him, visiting him at his home or work and should also stop talking about him in the media.

Billiat could not be reached for comment while Chiefs spokesperson Vina Maphosa said he was not at the office yesterday when the woman came.

He said: “I don’t have reports. I will find out.”

Asked if he knew anything about the woman in question, he confirmed that he had met her before.

“The lady once came to the Village and just like any other walk-ins, I received her, listened to her query with utmost compassion and gave her advise on the club protocols of dealing with private matters,” Maphosa explained.

The baby mama declined to comment.
